Wynton Marsalis

I enjoyed the profile of Wynton Marsalis on "60 Minutes" last night. Any suggestions on his best cd's-particularly with the Lincoln Center Jazz Band?

Although I have not heard most of his recordings. wintonmarsalis.org/discography, a nice site should help you get a good start.

These are an exploration of the blues with several members of what will become the LCJO. He doesn't record particularly well, however. Not bad but lacking bloom and dimensionality--like decent digital.
